Slot: ACDD Global Attributes (source_acdd_attributes)

Passthrough of ACDD (Attribute Convention for Data Discovery) global attributes from the source NetCDF header, as a native key/value object.

Tier: optional

Why this slot matters

Carrying the source's own ACDD header attributes forward preserves producer-supplied metadata verbatim, allowing later cross-checks against what this record claims without re-downloading the source.

In plain terms

Many scientific data files carry a built-in "title page" of descriptive labels inside the file itself (following the ACDD convention). This field simply copies those labels across so nothing the producer wrote is lost.
